Default 34th What?

Researching this armband, I have not been able to positively id the unit. The patch is for the 6 Division. The only 34th unit I have been able to find is the 34 Bty AA but they served in 8 Division. Any other ideas?

According to this, there was a 34th Canadian Military Band in 6th Div., or at least in Pacific Force. Would they have marked vehicles to carry their tubas???

Maybe it's an artillery tac sign, not a 6 Div patch?

Interesting possibility David. But if I read that order of battle correctly, that is the 6 Div CAPF, not the 6 Div Home Defence. The patch is the 6 Div Home Defence pattern.
John, IIRC, the artillery were not diagonally divided patches, but vertical strips of red and blue.
